- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Staplefield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How we handle bathroom resealing in Staplefield
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath panel and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Around Staplefield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Staplefield
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Staplefield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Common questions in Staplefield
Do you work for landlords with property near Balcombe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Staplefield?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Staplefield and the rest of West Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

- A few photos by email, if you can

- Roughly how big the job is

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Staplefield
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mark include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Balcombe station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Staplefield
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mark's CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
